#OOTD: Travelling in Style

I don’t travel for work that often, but when I do, I never pack correctly. I’m always forgetting something or bringing the wrong clothes. So on a recent cross-country work trip to sunny California, I finally felt like I had hit it out of the park with this easy and comfortable outfit. And get ready for a killer secret: this dress is from Costco. Yes, the same place where you can 10 pounds of mayonnaise and a killer flat screen TV also stocks some really great designer basics. This Hilary Radley dress was $12.99 and my only complaint is that I didn’t buy it in more colors.

Have you scored any great fashion finds at Costco?

I am a budget conscious shopper but not afraid to throw down on a few key investment pieces. I used to love shopping at the mall but with three children and most brands generous online return policies, I much prefer shopping from my couch. With a glass of wine.
For work, I tend to look for classic pieces with interesting details – I’ve never met an exposed zipper I didn’t like. For the weekends, I look for easy pieces that allow me to move and chase after three crazy kids.
I believe that jewelry can totally change an outfit. I do not own or want an iron. I am still searching for the perfect handbag.
